Hello all. First off let me say that I’m trying my best to not be such a newbie and hope I’m meeting the requirements and providing all the info you’ll need to help with my request.
Our forum version is very outdated and badly in need of an update. We’ve always had horrible support (re: no response) from our current forum host and all things considered, realize it’s time for us to move on to another host. Of course we’d like to be able to move intact with all of our current members and posts, but since I have little experience and don’t know what to look for I’m not sure if it can be done.
Our forum is hosted at ReadyBB and I know that they do not have ftp available. We cannot contact them at all. What does this mean for us? Are we completely screwed? Is there some other creative way we can move our forum intact?
If anyone knows anything about this host or has ideas for us, we really appreciate your help.

Did you use an automated wizard provided by your host to install phpBB?: Unsure

Your level of expertise (be honest): Absolutely none for the most part besides tinkering, activating/deleting members and basic moderating.
